Home / Grading standards
A practical wholesale reference for Premium, Excellent, and Good condition supply.
Refurbished iPhones here are graded A+ Premium, A Excellent, or B Good. Grades describe expected cosmetic bands, while every unit must pass the same functional checks before shipment release, and one RFQ can combine multiple grades for the same model.
Grades are used for procurement consistency and expectation alignment. They describe expected cosmetic bands with functional standards required for shipment release.
Small cosmetic variation can exist inside each grade tier and should be reviewed as part of batch-level QC tolerance.
Premium targets the highest cosmetic tier within available refurbished stock while meeting functional release checks. In current supply this tier is typically a fully refurbished unit with a like-new shell and screen.
Excellent usually carries tighter cosmetic tolerance than Good, while both remain functional supply categories for resale. In current supply Excellent is typically an original-housing unit around a 95%-new cosmetic band with light signs of use.
Use pre-agreed grade definitions, visual references, and DOA claim evidence standards in your purchasing workflow.
Battery standards are handled by agreed commercial terms and testing scope rather than a universal single threshold claim.
Yes. You can request tiered grade options for the same SKU family to optimize resale margin by channel.
